Answer No 1:

One of the genes shown in the diagram is for  flower position.

A gene can be best described as basic unit of heredity. A gene comprises of two alleles. The allele which masks the effect of the other allele is said to be dominant. The allele which gets masked by the dominant allele is said to recessive. The dominant allele is usually represented by a capital letter. The recessive allele is usually represented by a small letter.

The gene for axial flower position is dominant over the allele of terminal flower position.

Answer No 2:

The possible phenotypic alleles for that gene are the axial flower position and terminal flower position.

Phenotype can be described as those characteristics which can be observed.  They comprise of the physical properties of a trait.

In the above example, two of the flower positions, axial flower position and terminal flower position, can be seen and observed. Hence, these are the phenotypic traits.

Answer No 3:  

This plant is heterozygous for flower position and pod shape.

When the two alleles of a gene are different, they are termed as heterozygous. When the two alleles of a gene are similar, they are termed as homozygous.

As the allele of flower position are different  (Aa), hence they are heterozygous.

As the alleles for pod shape are different (Ii), hence they are heterozygous.

The alleles for height are however homozygous (tt).

The discontinuous aspect of replication of DNA in vivo is caused by ________.
pychu [463]

Answer:

The 5' and 3' polarity restriction

Explanation:

Discontinuous replication is when synthesis of new DNA molecule takes place as a series of short fragments that will subsequently be joined together.

These fragments are called the Okazaki fragments.

DNA synthesis takes place from 3' to 5' end. However due to 5' and 3' polarity. The replication has to be discontinuous due to the synthesis happening backwards and okazaki fragments being formed.

High concentrations of solutes such as sugar or salt results in plasmolysis of cells due to the onset of which phenomenon. Selec
malfutka [58]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-B

Explanation:

Three types of solution are formed based on the concentration of the solute which are:

1. High solute concentration- Hypertonic solution

2. Low solute concentration- Hypotonic solution

3. Equal solute concentration- Isotonic solution

When a cell contains a high amount of solute concentration and low concentration of water then it results in the generation of very high osmotic pressure.

If a cell is placed in an aquatic medium then due to high osmotic potential, the water will enter the cell which will lead to the rupture of the cell membrane. This process of rupture of the cell membrane is known as the plasmolysis.

Since the cell rupture due to the generation of very high osmotic potential, therefore, is the correct answer.

What surrounds the cell and controls the movement of substances in and out
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

The plasma membrane is made up by a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins that separates the internal contents of the cell from its surrounding environment. Only relatively small, non- polar materials can easily move through the lipid bilayer of the plasma membrane.
